Leicester City Prediction – Can Leicester City jump into 2nd spot?
With Liverpool playing Manchester City on Sunday, there’s a chance that Leicester City could jump into 2nd place if they take all three points against Arsenal when they play host to The Gunners at their King Power Stadium later this evening.
Having won 5 of their last 6 matches overall in the Premier League, Brendan Rogers’s side will be in confident mood on the back of recent wins against Tottenham, Newcastle United, Burnley, Southampton and Crystal Palace – the latter three being on the trot.
The only team to halt Leicester’s progress in recent weeks was Brendan Rogers’s former team, Liverpool, who beat The Foxes 2-1 at Anfield, but having won their last 4 home matches on the trot amidst an overall home record of 4-1-0 12/3, the east midlands club look hard to stop right now.
As well as tightening things up at the back, another part of Leicester City’s success so far this term has been the return to form of clinical striker, Jamie Vardy, who has netted 10 goals in his first 11 matches of this season.
Arsenal Prediction – Can Arsenal close gap on Chelsea?
The visitors head into this weekend’s action in 5th place and 6 points adrift of London rivals, Chelsea, prior to this difficult upcoming trip to the east midlands to face an in-form and confident Leicester City outfit who are building momentum under Brendan Rodgers.
Similar to their north London rivals, Tottenham, Arsenal have been impressive on the European stage in the Europa League as The Gunners remain unbeaten in the group stages, but have found it difficult to transfer this form onto the domestic scene as Arsenal have managed just 1 win out of their last 5 matches overall in the Premier League.
Indeed, Arsenal have gained just 2 wins out of their last 9 matches which were were both recorded on home turf at their Emirates Stadium with victories over Aston Villa and Bournemouth, but results away from home continue to elude Unai Emery’s side.
The Gunners are without a win from their last 4 trips in the top flight as they’ve suffered defeats at Liverpool 3-1 and a 1-0 loss at Sheffield United while draws at Watford and Manchester United were okay but still not convincing.
Key-Facts – Leicester City vs Arsenal
- Leicester City have won 5 of the last 6 matches in the Premier League
- Arsenal have gained just 2 wins out of their last 9 matches overall in the EPL
- Leicester City have won their last 4 home matches on the trot
Betting Tips Verdict
